Field Trip to Botanical Gardens

We have been so blessed with a great group of homeschool families in the area, Highlands Homeschoolers. We have gone to two play days (one at McDonalds in Chelsea and one at the park in Chelsea), a Valentine's Day Party, and now a field trip.

We got to have a guided tour through the Rain forest, and then do a scavenger hunt. The girls had a blast. We also had lunch at a little pharmacy that has a soda shop. There was a group of 5 girls, including mine, all between 5 and 11. They all sat together at a table, and needless to say there was alot of giggling.

Harley gave us a run down of all the things we can get from rain forest plants this afternoon. Both girls are already asking to go back. We are planning on going back once things are blooming and giving them a chance to draw some of the plants. They are also both wanting to take cameras and see what kinds of pictures they can get. I love how creative they both are, and love how we have the opportunity to nurture it through homeschool.
